Love is a Four Week Word

Maybe it's just me, but I'm suprised that Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom got married after only a month or so of dating. And apparently a lot of people seem to be happy for them. E! reportedly paid a cool 1 million dollars for the wedding and Khloe was able to sell the photos to some publication for $300,000 so publicity stunt or not--the new Mrs. Lamar Odom came out like a thief. Not to mention, the star-studded guest list and the fact that she looked the best we've seen her after her weight loss. She looked AMAZING in her Vera Wang dress.

Shocked as I am, I'm happy for her if she's happy. She's my favorite Kardashian sister and she cracks me up. I'm sure she's always had to deal  with being in the shadow of her two sisters since the media is shallow and harsh. This is the first time she's been the star of the three: Kim's scandolous break up, Kourtney's pregnancy, Khloe's shotgun wedding. This is definately a trio that knows how to work the press. All "publicity stunt" questions aside--I truly want to know if my readers believe in this day and age you can find love in four weeks? And not just find love in four weeks but the kinda love that makes you want to get married?

In conclusion-just between us girls--we don't live in the 1950s. People don't get married at 18 and stay married till they die anymore. People don't wait to lose their virginities till they're married. And I dare say that most people have no idea that a marriage is a full time job in itself. I mean, I lost hope in the sanctity of marriage years ago because people have no idea how to make a promise and do everything they can to keep it. I believe that a marriage should be two people coming together to build something greater--whether that be family, business, or quality of life. It's a partnership and should always be in constant forward motion. So all that, on top of needing to get to know someone I wouldn't rush into marriage. Not in this day and age. There's so much that we're exposed to, so much that we can get caught up in. I know you can fall in love fast but MARRIAGE is the thing that should be done with a lot of thought and consideration. My favorite chapter in the Bible is Proverbs 31. That woman is not only a great mother, she's a great wife. She's an inspiration to her family and she works hard to bring home the bacon--and fry it up. I aspire to be just like that. We lose the idea that you can be a strong woman and be a wife these days. I'm sorry but i don't believe love and marriage go togther like a horse and carriage after just four weeks.

Stay beautiful inside and out!
